end of week 1 and all quiet in class- had a nightmare class last year so this quiet, well behaved polite manner is strange! I know it is a honeymoon period, but I don't think I even had one of those last year so things may be better.

Secondary Science teacher in North Yorkshire. We've had the kids in since Tuesday so have met all my classes now. There was only one class that I thought <eeek!> but I'm sure I'll soon lick them into shape .

My own DD has just started school (reception) and has cried lots so it has been a long week. I was so tired last night!
